The pilot of the plane managed to eject himself and survived the accident. However, the debris landed on the car that was driving on the road. The brother of the girl who died at the age of 9 is seriously injured, while her parents suffered burns that are not life-threatening.
Preliminary investigations indicate that a bird entered the plane’s engine and caused the accident.
